This goes to show just how crucial it is to stay active in our children's lives. We can do EVERYTHING to protect our children but as soon as they're off in the world, at school or camp, who knows what other parents are teaching (or lack thereof) their kids and how it'll reflect on my child.
Perhaps God is reminding us that sin can still be punished with a rock. Well, at least he’s in a better place now. God works in mysterious ways that’s for sure - I guess that it’s just beyond our ability to comprehend why he had to die that we may live - May Jesus comfort him and his family now that his children may grow to learn God’s almighty love!
nallen100 Let’s c how this Case plays out with these 5 white boys.... Same situation happen the other week 4 Black boys threw a sand bag over the highway & killed a Black boy/ let’s sit back and see how the system works / White boys VS Black Boys the clock is ticking--
They not going to get any Prison time.... the lawyers r already talking about the boys r crazy- Smh/ Jus Sir Back wit some butter popcorn and watch how this case plays out.... the system white boys vs Black boys.... same case but different case
Devin mccloud They're expecting Mommy's & Daddy's money to get them off. Smdh....this was such a terrible and senseless death. That 17 year old idiot was the Grim Reaper..and the rock his scythe. Sad....
Anger, the one who threw the rock, received 39 months to 20 years in prison with the possibility of parole at 39 months. The others' cases are still pending.
Few years back some punks threw a cup of sodas at my windshield when car was travelling at around 45mph. The impact scared the crap out of me. Imagine 6lb rock.
Google crimes people on weed committed. You pot heads always defending your drugs is pathetic! I don't need drugs to be happy and im strong minded and not need drugs!
so the boys lawyers are going to use the fact that their clients were scared of the older guy thats why they were there, what a load of crap and im sure twelve jurors will see right through their defence, no one forced them to go onto that bridge
How's that been working out huh? You think people don't know that killing can get you life or a death sentence by now? Obviously the problem needs to be handle in a different way. Maybe at home. Maybe cousins having kids. Idk ^^
"Kids"??? Those are adult males, trained and raised by the public school system. They were out at night and all of them knew what was happening even if only one tossed the deadly rock. Imagine, obviously little or no parental supervision and likely not their first criminal behavior. Just because you weren't the one that tossed it, perhaps you were goaded by the other 4, peer pressure, into doing it! If you were there and you knew what was happening and you didn't step up and stop it, instead doing nothing, you became by default as guilty as the thrower.
These good boys must have flunked physics. Now they will have time to contemplate Mass/velocity/angle and inertia. Father of 4 killed. I have no sympathy for those teens.
If any of them ever get out, and I'M teaching physics with them, ALL problems will take the form of: A car is traveling at 70 mph under an overpass, when a 5 lb rock is thrown from the overpass...
A few weeks ago a tire came at me from an overpass.. Bounced right over the hood if my car and kept going. These kids and others NEED TO KNOW THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CRIME.
We used to throw snowballs at cars when we were kids, it was a prank. Small boulders thrown off a bridge when cars are moving at highway speeds?? They had to know the damage that would cause!
Boys are boys. I used to explode peoples mailboxes when i was young and that seemed like a good idea back then. Group spirit is so high that they cant always think clearly when they act.
This goes to prove the old saying..."You Are Judged By The Company That You Associate With." I can't tell you how many times I heard my mom tell me that when I was growing up in my formative years. I always tell my daughter who is 13 now the same things my mom told me. I'm 50 now...& I REALIZE NOW HOW MY MOM WAS & STILL IS SO WISE!!!
I agree they made the dumb choice of throwing rocks and not just one yet if i raise a puppy to bite he will bite. Everything starts at home with morals and how children are developed by the parents. I am guessing this will be a game of blame until they plea out for a pat on the wrist because that is how the system is set up.
Who said being a good parent is rocket science>? My point is pretty simple because the teens are responsible i agree with that but the parents are also to blame. So you think a child can be raised bad and turn out good every time>? Some do yet its a small % and they make many mistakes along the way.
sinfulways1492 what are you on about? I was talking about the kids having common sense to know what would happen if they throw a rock on a moving vehicle.
All 5 kids were there. According to attorney: "What if they were afraid of an older kid, so they didn't leave?" Gotta think that fear is nothing compared to the fear they (deservedly) feel now. Honestly, if it was my relative they killed, I'd want them gone. Not a prank. It was a malicious deadly act. They deserve to suffer, big time. Sadly, as the victim's father say, these 5 worthless lives will get to wake up every day.
@@hazelhezly7483 right, but you are only thinking of one persons point of view. The victim's family. I absolutely think the kid who threw the rock should be in trouble, but only one of them threw the rock that hit the car. Why should the other 4 who did not commit that act be punished? I know for a fact if your child was there and didn't throw a rock and his friend did, you would not be 100% for putting your child away when he wasn't the one who did it.
@@ss5187 and I'm thinking of both pov btw. I did my research and I feel no remorse for the teenagers. Maybe their families but not them for getting in trouble. Let me ask you, and a reply is much appreciated. If your lover was in a car driving towards an overpass, suddenly rocks started falling on his/her car, causing damage and causing them to lose control and crash. Your lover didn't die, but he could've... Would you let the person who threw the rocks down off so easily? Knowing that your lover could've potentially be killed? Knowing that the person who threw the rocks down were playing a stupid game? I mean your lover didn't get killed. I hope you answer cuz I'd really like to know.
@@ss5187 idk if you know this, but they all threw the rocks as part of a game. So yeah they were all actively participating in a life threatening act. They have no evil intentions you would say? One of them confirmed in court that they knew people could've gotten hurt but they still continued with the game
Idiots dont follow by example, so that isnt gonna work. These kids deserve no more than 10 years in jail + have to pay a % of whatever money they make for the rest of their lives to the widow and children of the victim
A few years back here in Columbus, Ohio a teen (son of a homicide detective) was throwing stones of an overpass. A driver whose car was hit turned around, chased the boy and shot him dead. They still have not found the guy.
Uh... is that even remotely true? A guy turned his car around on the freeway and drove up onto the overpass and chased a boy down and shot him with no witnesses?
Elmer Elmtree right. Sounds made up. And how does anyone know that he was throwing rocks? Someone would have seen it if it were true, unless the guy that murdered him spilled the beans.
This has been going on for years and surprised that it's not required for overpasses to either be prohibited to pedestrians or completely enclosed. In 1994 in Jersey City, NJ, a 19 yr old threw a 16 lb bowling ball down a depressed highway, missing a mother in the front seat but killing her 8 month old baby sitting in the back. It doesn't have to be a big object to do major damage either.
johnny b. goode - "surprised that it's not required for overpasses to either be prohibited to pedestrians or completely enclosed". The only reason they're built is for pedestrians to safely cross a busy road. How can you prohibit their use by pedestrians? The better and more sensible option is to enclose them.
they definitely should make tall fences, i have to walk through an overpass to get home from class, but there’s about a 7-8 foot fence making sure no one either jumps off or throws a huge rock over
The city shouldn't have to install nets. You don't cater to idiots. Parents should raise their kids right. Yeah, I'm sure people will get right on that.
Nastia - There are hundreds, if not thousands, of things we shouldn't have to do. I shouldn't have to lock my car, but since thieves exist, I lock my car. The world is full of morons, thugs and just downright evil people. People who, for example, throw rocks off of overpasses.
ok, so no one has said boys will be boys, so take your feminist anger out somewhere else. Everyone knows that what they did was a horrible, punishable mistake on their behalf
They're old enough, but they don't know any better. They're still filled with airheads and sour patch kids, cept they killed a dude, they don't exactly fit the profile, but then again, they were hoping to hit someone throwing down those rocks, they need a wake-up call , and individual trials as a group they might think they're safe, on there own trial one by one they might fold and cry for help idk, just a tragedy dude had to die because of them
Ahh, there is always going to be a handful of psychos among us. So when you say "enough is enough" are you suggesting the eradication of the Human species?
I see what youre saying. When I said mistake I meant that they messed up and most likely regret doing it, so to them, it was a mistake to make that decision. My bad, I could have used different wording.
Last year this same exact thing happend and the husband of the victim was trying his hardest to get them to put up fences on the overpass to prevent future damage. Maybe now that another life is gone they'll listen to this man and his wife.
theres some that have them fences and you can still throw anything u want over the fences. What about off to the side ,any body can throw anything that way also.. I think its a waste of money..Someone said that it will stop people from jumping too that are commiting suicide but at the end of the day they will just find another way to do it..It's all sad but i think that it would be a waste of money. We already have the worst roads in the country...
Maybe teach young people to have respect for the life and safety of others. And common sense. That would go a huge long way to solving all sorts of problems, not just this one.
May god bless his family and his kids he left behind . And those idiots should be jailed for a long time , they deserve that . His kids gonna grow up without their father for their stupid act so they should pay for every bit of it and be sent to jail . Sad sad sad .
Gonn Berdynaj oh I'm sorry you weren't a kid at 1 point in time ? You never made a mistake ? You never threw a rock ? Oh we believe you lord savior . How do we become so innocent like you ?
Saucy Hoes oh so throwing a 6 pound rock at a vehicle going 80 m/ph wasn't going to end badly? If it hit a driver he would have crashed and more people would have died. They knew damn well what was going to happen. And you know what I've thrown rocks but I always made sure they where tiny so they didn't hurt anyone. FYI some people don't get a childhood. Some people have to grow up fast to help mom and dad with bills. So don't mock people who didn't have a childhood. We didn't get to choose the life we had to live.
Well the one who threw the rock got 3-20 years and got 2 years already served so he will be out very soon, this disgusting justice system failed kenneth white
We were all young and stupid once. Spitting and water balloons is an innocent thing and can't really do damage. But hurling a heavy rock into cars is something I would've never thought of doing. These guys wanted to hurt someone or cause damage.
This case was an horrific tragedy, thank God they were all caught caught. The boys will have a long time to think about what they did. It's such a shame all around.
Me and my friends did a similar thing at that same age, but it was a cheap paintball gun and we only shot the semi trailers. Yeah that was very stupid too (got caught) but this was on another level where they wanted to seriously harm people or property. We knew what we were doing was wrong, these kids knew what was gonna happen too
Me and my friends threw snowballs at cars from overpasses when I was a kid. 12-13 years old. Back then I didn't understand that the driver could panic and lose controll etc. Luckily nothing happend. Got caught at some point which wasn't fun but lesson learned.
i doubt a cheap paintball gun would've killed anyone. A 6 pound rock is a whole other thing. Have you ever been hit by a paintball? They don't do much, just a minor bruise. Now the rock throwing was just plain stupid.
Ive heard people say we was all kids once doing stupid things. Scumbags the lot of them. They are old enough to know better. If they don't the the parents are useless and that poor hardworking guys son doesn't have a dad now. The lawyer is just as bad defending them the way he is.... sick sick sick
As a parent, I honestly don’t think I’d even entertain the idea of a lawyer for my own kids if they did this. I failed, as a parent to instill proper human decency in them, and if this is the product that came from my home? Throw that key away. I don’t want him in my home or around my family where he could turn on my own family. I can’t say I won’t, in later years miss him or possibly regret it but, I could not stand by as a mother and be able to try and defend the actions of this. It’s just so insane to me.
There are so many fun things to see & do in a lifetime, and these wise guys will never get that opportunity. From now on, they'll be watched closely 24/7 & be subjected to the nightmares of living behind bars in a very small cell for the rest of their lives ! Not being able to genuinely laugh & smile is torture !
Here's a perfect lesson to teach in school. Show students this. Show them the trauma their "goofing around" brings to others. Show them that the justice system will not be kind towards such stupidity.
What a waste, the ignorance of youth but no matter what sentences are handed down it's important that our teens all see/hear about this case as a warning of how fast you can take a life & lose your own in the blink of an eye or the dropping of a rock.....
It's dark, the cars are driving over 70 miles an hour and those brats didn't think they'd hurt someone with a big rock? I don't think so. There are consequences to things and they have to face the fact that they made the wrong choice that night when they tossed that rock down on that car. If you are over the age of 12 you know exactly what you are doing - and if you don't then you're pretty stupid. Actions do have consequences. When I was in high school I used to hate the way some of the kids acted - just like this thinking they were so funny and cute and could get away with anything. Being a bully and hurting people is not attractive.
it doesn't matter if one kid didn't throw the Rock at the vehicle all five kids were in it so they should get punished for their actions for taking a man's life away so they should get the death penalty or they should serve life in prison.
I grew up the youngest in my group of kids. As a matter of fact, the nearest age kid was 3 years older.. AND Not once did I allow them to TELL or MAKE ME DO ANYTHING. without a fight. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A HUMAN THAT TOUGH OR BAD. BEING A COWARD IS NO EXCUSE. LIFE FOR LIFE. SEE YOU IN 50 YEARS.
David Gillespie--Same where I am in northern Los Angeles County. Fences not only stop freaks from throwing stuff over, they stop people from jumping or even being thrown off.
R.I.P. MY BROTHER IM SORRY YOU COULD NOT COME HOME TO US IT WAS JUST NOT FAIR THAT THIS HAD TO HAPPION TO YOU NOT ONLY ARE YOU A HARD WORKER BUT YOU HAD SO MAY LESSION ON LIFE TO GIVE THE SHORT CUTS I HOPE YOUR FLY IN HIGH AND RIGHT WE'RE U NEED TO BE BROTHER THAT MAN DID EVERYTHING HE COULD POSSIBLY DO TO SAVE HIM
Every one of those delinquent should get the death penalty with no chance of appeal because they went back repeatedly and they did not just throw rocks
This is beyond sad. My prayers are with this man's family. 🙏
This goes to show just how crucial it is to stay active in our children's lives. We can do EVERYTHING to protect our children but as soon as they're off in the world, at school or camp, who knows what other parents are teaching (or lack thereof) their kids and how it'll reflect on my child.

FYI some people don't get a childhood. Some people have to grow up fast to help mom and dad with bills. So don't mock people who didn't have a childhood. We didn't get to choose the life we had to live.
Saucy Hoes I was a kid and never did something so reckless with no regard for human life as those monsters did.
The Hand of One, is the Hand of All. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.
Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are!
Howlbigbadwolf All I can say is that I feel horrible for that man's children and for his father. Hope they go to jail with cold blooded killers.
I thought the same thing. How can 5 people be charged with throwing the one same rock one time?
Morris Wilburn the were there when it happened
Well the one who threw the rock got 3-20 years and got 2 years already served so he will be out very soon, this disgusting justice system failed kenneth white
needs to be put down asap. waste of tax. make an example to deter others.
it won't though...
May this man rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers shall be with the family and friends during this difficult time.
I used to try to spit on cars like that when I was younger, but never threw a 5 pound rock at any car.
Exactly they knew someone could get badly hurt.. If they didn't they deserve jail anyway for being too stupid to function in society
We were all young and stupid once. Spitting and water balloons is an innocent thing and can't really do damage. But hurling a heavy rock into cars is something I would've never thought of doing. These guys wanted to hurt someone or cause damage.
You spit now you gonna get knocked into the next decade
As a trucker this is terrifying!
They threw a total of 75 rocks, as well as a tire. That right there reveals their characters. Every damned one of them.
The defense attorney makes me sick excusing this bad behavior because they are young REALLY AS LONG AS IT'S NOT YOUR LOVED ONES
This case was an horrific tragedy, thank God they were all caught caught. The boys will have a long time to think about what they did. It's such a shame all around.
Jesus Christ, how sad
He had 4 kids ! They will NOT forget or let this go!
Well let's pray they leave the revenge to the Lord of Justice ⚖️ and trust they'll see their father again.
That kids name is Kyle Anger ?? How perfect
Thank you for your service!
Hopefully they are still locked up. Pleading NOT GUILTY is a insult
2 have been let out sadly
Me and my friends did a similar thing at that same age, but it was a cheap paintball gun and we only shot the semi trailers. Yeah that was very stupid too (got caught) but this was on another level where they wanted to seriously harm people or property. We knew what we were doing was wrong, these kids knew what was gonna happen too
Me and my friends threw snowballs at cars from overpasses when I was a kid. 12-13 years old. Back then I didn't understand that the driver could panic and lose controll etc. Luckily nothing happend. Got caught at some point which wasn't fun but lesson learned.
By shooting semi trailers? Hardly.
i doubt a cheap paintball gun would've killed anyone. A 6 pound rock is a whole other thing. Have you ever been hit by a paintball? They don't do much, just a minor bruise. Now the rock throwing was just plain stupid.
Scott Hall exactly I did this when I was younger and didn't have nothing to do with friends
dsadsa sadsada I did the similar things like this throwing snowballs and rocks when you young u don't think before doing any
I didn't start crying until the clip with the victim's uncle started playing.
Prayers for all these teenager's.💗🙏 Specially for the oldest one.💗🙏
this man with the man killed will never be the same again this was bad prayers to him and family of all for there lost
This is too much. Rest in peace Beautiful Man. I'm choked!!
Chef A.K me too
Ive heard people say we was all kids once doing stupid things. Scumbags the lot of them. They are old enough to know better. If they don't the the parents are useless and that poor hardworking guys son doesn't have a dad now. The lawyer is just as bad defending them the way he is.... sick sick sick
I feel terrible for the family. The uncle's face and tears cut into my soul. Terrible Terrible.
I was sympathetic until I seen the defense strategy. Shame on the defense attorneys.
As a parent, I honestly don’t think I’d even entertain the idea of a lawyer for my own kids if they did this. I failed, as a parent to instill proper human decency in them, and if this is the product that came from my home? Throw that key away. I don’t want him in my home or around my family where he could turn on my own family. I can’t say I won’t, in later years miss him or possibly regret it but, I could not stand by as a mother and be able to try and defend the actions of this. It’s just so insane to me.
None of them seem too upset by what they’ve done.
Isn't it kind of odd that his name is anger?
One stupid decision changes a lot of peoples lives 🙏🏾
rest in peace my good man , you are loved and missed very much !!
NOTHING and I mean NOTHING should ever be thrown down from any sort of height, once it leaves your hand you no longer have control of where it goes.
Thank you for trying to help stop the bleeding brother. Kennith was a 1 of a kind man. Much respect. Rip Kwhite.
At least the Judge had some balls this time and did the right thing
The kids were sending snap chats bragging about how they killed a man, glad they got life.
The force and impact of that rock hit at 70mph.
There are so many fun things to see & do in a lifetime, and these wise guys will never get that opportunity. From now on, they'll be watched closely 24/7 & be subjected to the nightmares of living behind bars in a very small cell for the rest of their lives !
Not being able to genuinely laugh & smile is torture !
Thats not a rock thats a boulder
They should get life and there parents should have to pay victims family
*EACH of those young men participated in tossing MANY rocks off of that and other freeway overpasses!*
I am glad Justice was served.
Here's a perfect lesson to teach in school.
Show students this.
Show them the trauma their "goofing around" brings to others.
Show them that the justice system will not be kind towards such stupidity.
The definition of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Pleaded not guilt?! Declare all of them guilty, this is criminal assault and it must be stopped right here, right now!
death by stupidity is the most horrible thing for the innocent victims!
Mark Sekezly's smirking face is infuriating. Always looks like he's grinning.
My deepest condolences
What an absolute nightmare, all the way around.
As a judge i would sentence all 15 years in prison
How the f*** are they gonna plead "not guilty"?! 😡 Me and my friends did some dumb stuff when we were kids, but never anything like this!
What a waste, the ignorance of youth but no matter what sentences are handed down
it's important that our teens all see/hear about this case as a warning of how fast you
can take a life & lose your own in the blink of an eye or the dropping of a rock.....
It's dark, the cars are driving over 70 miles an hour and those brats didn't think they'd hurt someone with a big rock? I don't think so. There are consequences to things and they have to face the fact that they made the wrong choice that night when they tossed that rock down on that car. If you are over the age of 12 you know exactly what you are doing - and if you don't then you're pretty stupid. Actions do have consequences. When I was in high school I used to hate the way some of the kids acted - just like this thinking they were so funny and cute and could get away with anything. Being a bully and hurting people is not attractive.
Why is the friend blaming himself?
So sad. How senseless
Life for all 5!!!!!!!
Not on taxpayers money. I want public hanging back and HANG ALL OF THEM
Sadly this would never happen. The main pos who threw the rock got 3-20 with 2 years served so he will be out and about early next year😡
it doesn't matter if one kid didn't throw the Rock at the vehicle all five kids were in it so they should get punished for their actions for taking a man's life away so they should get the death penalty or they should serve life in prison.
I grew up the youngest in my group of kids. As a matter of fact, the nearest age kid was 3 years older.. AND Not once did I allow them to TELL or MAKE ME DO ANYTHING. without a fight. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A HUMAN THAT TOUGH OR BAD. BEING A COWARD IS NO EXCUSE. LIFE FOR LIFE. SEE YOU IN 50 YEARS.
The brats got off too easy by a permissive society
Lessons in life" every action has a reaction".These teenagers will regret their actions.
Life for all 5 of them
I won't say what I think this evil act deserves.
How does that overpass NOT have a fence already? Every overpass in Pennsylvania has them by law!!
David Gillespie--Same where I am in northern Los Angeles County. Fences not only stop freaks from throwing stuff over, they stop people from jumping or even being thrown off.
Political BS, that's why.
Man it's beyond horrible and painful, I think punishment for 30 years means nothing to the family of the victim
And some parents think its terrible to let your kids stay inside and play video games..
SO DAMN SAD AND JUST STUPID...THESE KIDS NEED TO PAY DEARLY FOR THEIR ACTIONS ….
Guess their “RUclips pranks” will no longer be achieved... This is a first hand experience of consequences of your actions.
I would have been in favor of these idiots eating Tide pods instead of this idiocy.
heartbreaking....
Set a precedence for stupidity; life in prison without parole.
R.I.P. MY BROTHER IM SORRY YOU COULD NOT COME HOME TO US IT WAS JUST NOT FAIR THAT THIS HAD TO HAPPION TO YOU NOT ONLY ARE YOU A HARD WORKER BUT YOU HAD SO MAY LESSION ON LIFE TO GIVE THE SHORT CUTS I HOPE YOUR FLY IN HIGH AND RIGHT WE'RE U NEED TO BE BROTHER THAT MAN DID EVERYTHING HE COULD POSSIBLY DO TO SAVE HIM
How were they not guilty?
Every one of those delinquent should get the death penalty with no chance of appeal because they went back repeatedly and they did not just throw rocks
